This document discusses behavioral safety and provides examples of past incidents caused by unsafe behaviors. It summarizes that the Bhopal gas tragedy and Morbi bridge collapse were both due to poor decisions, maintenance, design, and lack of safety practices. It defines behavioral safety as a program that aims to improve safety by changing worker behaviors through identifying unsafe behaviors, determining root causes, developing action plans, and follow up. The document outlines a 7 step process for implementing behavioral safety programs in the workplace.

3. BEHAVIOURAL SAFETY
General Awareness & Discussion
Discussion about Bhopal Gas Tragedy & Morbi
Bridge Collapse

4. COMPARISON & FINDINGS OF BOTH CASES
 Refrigeration system to cool MIC was shutdown to
save cost. (Poor Decision)
 Leaking gas could be detoxified but scrubber
system was turned off due to maintenance
issue.(Poor preventive maintenance)
 Flare tower designed to burn off gases was turned
off due to some connecting pipes were removed for
maintenance and never fitted again. (Poor
maintenance)
 The MIC leak detection system was put off as it was
supposedly generating false alarms. Actually it was
signalling true alarms.(Poor knowledge)
 Water curtain was not high enough to quench the
MIC gas. (Poor design)

5. COMPARISON & FINDINGS OF BOTH CASES
 A 143 years old bridge was opened for public after
renovation without conducting the safety audit. (Poor
safety)
 The renovation was undertaken by an agency which
was not expert in performing such jobs. (Poor
decision)
 Lot of additional materials were added to the bridge
for strengthening without accessing its load bearing.
(Poor designing)
 The vital structure of bridge ‘Ropes’ which were
corroded was only painted. (Poor maintenance)
 No body knew how many people this bridge could
host at any given time. (Poor logistics)

6. SO WHAT IS BEHAVIOUR BASED SAFETY(BBS)?
Behavioural safety is the name given to a
number of types of programmes that aim to
improve safety by changing the behaviour
of workers.
Behavior Based Safety is a program
designed to influence employee actions
toward safer outcomes, ideally by
preventing an accident or injury before it
occurs. Implementing a behavior based safety
program is the most comprehensive way for
companies to promote safety, eliminate
hazards and prevent injuries.

8. HOW TO IMPLEMENT BBS AT WORKPLACE?
 There is a 7-step process that can help in
improving Behavior-Based Safety in your
organization:
 Identify critical problem behaviours.
 Identify root causes.
 Generate potential actions.
 Evaluate possible actions.
 Develop an action plan.
 Implement an action plan.
 Conduct follow-up.
